Installation Mounting Warning Do not install, rewire, or remove this control with power applied. Doing so may cause fire or serious injury. Make sure you have read and understood the Safety Warnings before attempting installation. The chassis must be earth grounded. Use a star washer beneath the head of at least one of the mounting screws to penetrate the anodized chassis surface and to reach bare metal.
Installation Wiring Warning Do not install, remove, or rewire this equipment with power applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion, or serious injury. Circuit potentials are at 115 VAC above ground. To prevent the risk of injury or fatality, avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board or with circuit elements.
As a general rule, Minarik recommends shielding of all conductors. If it is not practical to shield power conductors, Minarik recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding logic leads is not practical, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced noise.
The fuse size may be reduced to 1.5A if this control is used with motors smaller than 1/8 HP. Fuse kit 050-0066 (1 - 5A Fuse Kit) is available from Minarik. See Replacement Parts (page 39) for fuse kit contents.
Installation Speed adjust potentiometer connections Warning Be sure that the potentiometer tabs do not make contact with the potentiometer enclosure. Grounding the input will cause damage to the drive. Install the circular insulating disk between the mounting panel and the 10K ohm speed adjust potentiometer (see Figure 2). Mount the speed adjust potentiometer through a 0.38-inch (10 mm) hole with the hardware provided.
Quick-connect terminal block The quick-connect terminal block is composed of a header block and terminal plug. The removable terminal plug, Minarik part number 160-0098, connects to the header block as shown in Figure 3. To use the quick-connect terminal block: 1.
Figure 6 (page 12). Motor connections Minarik drives supply motor voltage from A1 and A2 terminals. It is assumed throughout this manual that, when A1 is positive with respect to A2 , the motor will rotate clockwise (CW) while looking at the output shaft protruding from the front of the motor.
Installation Power connections Connect the AC line power leads to SO501 terminals L1 and L2, or to a double-throw, single-pole master power switch as shown in Figure 4 (recommended). Figure 4. Power and Motor Connections...
Installation Signal and optional switch connections Speed adjust potentiometer Connect the speed adjust potentiometer to terminals S1, S2 and S3 of connector SO501 as shown in Figure 5. The CW terminal must be connected to S3. Inhibit switch Connect a single-pole, single-throw switch to the H1 and H2/A2 terminals of SO501 (Figure 5).
(+) to S2. Connect the signal common (–) to S1. Make no connection to S3. A potentiometer can be used to scale the analog input voltage. An interface device, such as Minarik model PCM4, may be used to scale and isolate an analog input voltage. Figure 6. Voltage Follower Connections...
Operation Warning Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. Before applying power • Verify that no conductive material is present on the printed circuit board. • Verify that the AC supply is properly balanced. Drive startup and shutdown 1.
Removing AC line power (both L1 and L2) is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping. Minarik strongly recommends the installation of an emergency stop switch for chassis drives. The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum of 250 volts and...
Operation Line starting and stopping When AC line voltage is applied to the drive, the motor accelerates to the set speed. When AC line voltage is removed, the motor coasts to a stop. Line stopping (removing AC line voltage) is recommended for stopping in emergency situations only.
Operation Coast to minimum speed using INHIBIT terminals Short the INHIBIT (H1 and H2/A2) terminals of terminal board SO501 to coast the motor to minimum speed (Figure 8). Reopen the INHIBIT terminals to accelerate the motor to set speed. Twist inhibit wires and separate them from power-carrying wires or sources of electrical noise.
Operation Dynamic braking Warning Wait for the motor to completely stop before switching it back to RUN. This will prevent high armature currents from damaging the motor or drive. NOTE: For motors rated 1/17 horsepower and lower, a brake resistor is not necessary since the armature resistance is high enough to stop the motor without demagnetization.
Calibration Warning Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. When possible, disconnect the voltage input from the drive before adjusting the trimpots. If the trimpots must be adjusted with power applied, use insulated tools and the appropriate personal protection equipment. BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury.
Calibration Calibration procedure Calibrate the drive using the following procedure: 1. Set the MIN SPD and MAX SPD trimpots to zero (full CCW). 2. Set the TORQUE trimpot to maximum (full CW). 3. Set the IR COMP trimpot to midrange (approximate 12 o’clock position).
Calibration MAXIMUM SPEED (MAX SPD) The MAX SPD setting determines the motor speed when the speed adjust potentiometer is turned full CW. It is factory set for maximum rated speed. To calibrate, set the MAX SPD trimpot full CCW. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or reference voltage to maximum.
Although TORQUE LIMIT is set to 120% of maximum drive current rating, continuous operation beyond that rating may damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating, contact your Minarik representative for assistance. The TORQUE setting determines the maximum torque for accelerating and driving the motor.
Calibration Set the speed potentiometer or reference signal to maximum speed. The motor should remain stopped. Slowly rotate the TORQUE trimpot clockwise (CW) until the ammeter reads 120% of maximum motor armature current. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or reference signal to zero speed.
Application Notes Reversing with dynamic braking A dynamic brake may be used when reversing the motor direction (Figure 12). Use a three-pole, three-position switch rated for at least the maximum DC armature voltage and maximum braking current. Wait for the motor to stop completely before switching it to either the forward or reverse direction.
DIGI-LOK is switched back to the drive. Figure 13 shows the connection of the reversing circuit to an MM30000 series drive and a DLC600. NOTE: ONLY ONE FEEDBACK SOURCE (ENCODER OR MAG PICKUP) MAY BE USED AT ANY ONE TIME.
Application Notes Independent Adjustable Speeds Connect two speed adjust potentiometers, with a single pole two position switch to select between two independent speeds shown in the forward direction (Figure 14). The speed adjust potentiometers can be mounted at two separate operating stations.
Application Notes Adjustable speeds using potentiometers in series Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a single-pole, multi-position switch, and two or more potentiometers in series, with a total series resistance of 10K ohms. Figure 15 shows a connection for fixed high and low speed adjust potentiometers.
Application Notes Multiple fixed speeds Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with series resistors with a total series resistance of 10K ohms (Figure 16). Add a single pole, multi-position switch with the correct number of positions for the desired number of fixed speeds. Figure 16.
Application Notes RUN/JOG switch Using a RUN/JOG switch is recommended in applications where quick stopping is not needed and frequent jogging is required. Use a single pole, two position switch for the RUN/JOG switch, and a single pole, normally closed, momentary operated pushbutton for the JOG pushbutton as shown in Figure 17.
Application Notes Leader-follower application In this application, use a PCM4 to monitor the speed of the leader motor (Figure 18). The PCM4 isolates the leader motor from the follower drive, and outputs a voltage proportional to the leader motor armature voltage. The follower drive uses this voltage reference to set the speed of the follower motor.
Application Notes Single speed potentiometer control of multiple drives Multiple drives can be controlled with a single speed adjust potentiometer using a PCM4 at the input of each drive to provide isolation (Figure 19). Optional ratio potentiometers can be used to scale the PCM4 output voltage, allowing independent control of each drive.
